Ovulation (egg release from the ovaries) will remain the same. Tubal ligation also known as having your

tubes tied or tubal sterilization is a type of permanent birth control. During tubal ligation, the fallopian

tubes are cut, tied or blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy. Tubal ligation prevents an egg from

traveling from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes and blocks sperm from traveling up the fallopian

tubes to the egg. The procedure doesn't affect your menstrual cycle it just prevents fertilization.
